This is a very impressive set of pictures, its too bad it has probably all washed away by now. No real surprise that there was no mention of it in the American media, they are so biased it is a crime. The Europeans do a far better job of covering such things than our press. Subject: Normandy, France A large percentage of our country doesnt know of or care about Normandy. My guess is it has been removed from the text in History Books. A few weekends ago, British artist Jamie, accompanied by numerous volunteers, took to the beaches of Normandy with rakes and stencils in hand to etch 9,000 silhouettes representing fallen people into the sand. Titled The Fallen 9000 , the piece is meant as a stark visual reminder of those who died during the D-Day beach landings at Arromanches on June 6th, 1944 during WWII. The original team consisted of 60 volunteers, but as word spread nearly 500 additional local residents arrived to help with the temporary installation that lasted only a few hours before being washed away by the tide. 9,000 Fallen Soldiers Etched into the Sand on Normandy Beach to Commemorate Peace Day on September 25, 2013 X.MA1.1402537133@aol X.MA2.1402537133@aol X.MA3.1402537133@aol X.MA4.1402537133@aol X.MA5.1402537133@aol X.MA6.1402537133@aol X.MA7.1402537133@aol X.MA8.1402537133@aol X.MA9.1402537133@aol X.MA10.1402537133@aol What is surprising is that we saw nothing about this here in the US – or is it surprising?
